+## dumps
+
+Starting with 1.7.4 gtt can dump the results of all API requests within a report and use it on another machine without access to the GitLab instance itself. This is very useful for debugging purposes. If you stumble upon a bug which could be unique to your set of data, please rerun the report with these options to save a dump to the given file: `--output=dump --file=/path/dump.json` Check your dump for sensitive information and provide it when asked.

 ## faqs
 
 #### What is the difference between 'total spent' and 'spent'?
